[OOC: No, sorry. I can see nothing more recent than a day ago.]
"She asked for you by name. She seemed to know a little bit about you. As far as I know she doesn't know you are in town and I have no idea why she wants to talk to you."
[OOC: Currently roleplaying, so the answer will be brief.]
"Damn," says Dworkin, turning away. "Melitta will not be pleased."

[OOC: I have just realised that what Guilliame just told Dworkin is not the truth. Lomani did not ask for Dworkin by name. She showed him a picture and Guilliame gave her Dworkin's name (seehere). If this was a mistake on your part, you can have Guilliame say something else. However, if this was done on purpose, I need you to make a Deception check for Guilliame.]

"She had a picture of you and seemed to know a little bit about you. As far as I know she doesn't know you are in town and I have no idea why she wants to talk to you."
"A picture?" he says, clearly surprised. "From someone who knows me well enough to be able to draw me from memory. That is a worry. Melitta will not be pleased..."
Dworkin takes another gulp from his tankard and then adds more of the harsh spirit. From the look on his face, clearly he has some concerns about being looked for by the Seekers of Donai.
"Whatever you do, do not tell this Seeker that you have actually seen me," he says looking at Guilliame suddenly. "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"Do you normally meet up with Seekers?" asks Dworkin, once again a little surprised. Guilliame then sees him close his eyes and open them in a manner that has become familiar.
"You have changed, Guilliame," says Dworkin, the sound of suspicion entering his voice. "Since when have you had a sorcerer's aura?"
[OOC: AsMinor Illusionhas both a material and somatic component, you will have to roll a contested Deception check for Guilliame (his bonus is 0) versus Dworkin's Passive Perception if you want the voice to possibly surprise him. If you don't want to try to surprise him, then no roll is required.]

[OOC: As Dworkin's Passive Perception is less than 14, this works.
However, I would also like you to make a Performance check to see how close to Wamzut's voice Guilliame can get. N.B. As reproducing a remembered voice relies on memory, you can use Guilliame's +3 bonus for his Wisdom for this roll.
FYI: mechanically this is defined as a Wisdom (Performance) check, meaning that it is based on Guilliame's Wisdom ability and modified by any proficiency bonus he has in Performance, which he doesn't.]
Guilliame turns to put down his tankard on the table and as he does so his fingers search out the tiny piece of fleece he has in his component pouch. Palming the material component of his cantrip, he then turns towards the window, making it look as if he heard something. When Dworkin's gaze follows where his own has gone, Guilliame quickly and surreptitiously does the necessary somatic part of the spell: linking his spell to his head and then pointing his fingers at a point in the air about human head height above the ground and behind Dworkin. He then internally voices what he wants the invisible illusion to say.
"The lad has talent," says a man's voice.
Dworkin turns in surprise and looks in the direction that the sound came from. "Hello," he says, "Is there somebody there?"

"What?" Dworkin says, his brow furrowing. Then he straightens up and looks serious. "The only place I know where you might have learned such magicks is the Temple of Donai. I think you have more of a connection with them than you are letting on."
There is now a decidedly cold tone to Dworkin's voice.
[OOC: Another failure, so no experience, I'm afraid.]
"It is just an illusion I learned at the school. A cantrip. I can teach you if you like."
Dworkin, who had taken a step back and to one side so he could look at both Guilliame and in the direction the voice had come from at the same time, says, "An illusion? I can't see anything. He then closes his eyes, and opens them with his mage sight active and looks in the direction where the voice came from.
[OOC: Dworkin's Investigation check:23]
Guilliame then sees Dworkin squint and slowly turn his gaze from that point to look at Guilliame. He then smiles.
"I can see the thin trail of magic flowing from you," he says after a moment's thought. "So, this is an illusion without something to see. Tricky."
[OOC: FYI, although mechanically theMinor Illusioncantrip doesn't require Concentration, like say mySee the Arcanecantrip, it is implied in the description that there must be some sort of on-going connection of the spell to the caster.]
Dworkin then relaxes and says, "So, where did you learn that? Did Wamzut teach it to you?"

"Wamzut! Is that you?"
The voice sounds like it could belong to anyone, but hopefully Dworkin won't recognise that it isn't Wamzut's voice if Guilliame plays along.
"Wamzut! Is that you?" Guilliame says, thinking quickly.
[OOC: Dworkin's roll to recognise Wamzut's voice (at Disadvantage because of circumstance): 16 ]
"Wamzut?" says Dworkin, turning to look at Guilliame. "Melitta told me that he was dead."

Dworkin, who had taken a step back and to one side so he could look at both Guilliame and in the direction the voice had come from at the same time, says, "An illusion? I can't see anything.
